Titramax VT BROMINE

Product description

The value of Bromine Index or Bromine Number expresses the trace amount of unsaturated constituents of hydrocarbons and oils. It is determined by measuring of consumed bromine for cleavage of double or multiple bounds during the titration. The value are needed for determination of parameters for further processing of petroleum products.

The Titramax VT BROMINE is conform to standards ASTM D 1159, ASTM D 2710 and ASTM D 5776.

The measurement uses a potentiometric titration method in an anhydrous medium. The titration with titrant starts, once the sample is dosed into the reagent. The user has to enter the sample weight into the menu. The titration is performed automatically until the endpoint indication of measurement.

At the end of the measurement, results are shown in mg Br₂/100 g (Bromine Index) or g Br₂/100 g (Bromine Number).

Features

The Titramax VT BROMINE consists of

• an automatic volumetric titrator with potentiometric indication,
• a titration vessel with stirrer unit.

The determination of Bromine Index or Bromine Number is based on

• a potentiometric titration in an anhydrous medium,
• a precise indication by a double platinum electrode, which is stable over long periods.

Steps of the analysis

1. Determination of the blank value
2. Standardization of the titration solution
3. Titration of the sample
